H2O Project!Question #1: Which are the cleanest beaches in San Diego?
Beaches in San Diego have been being monitored for many years. The beaches in San Diego get graded A-F every couple months. "Of the 55 year-round water quality monitoring locations, 96% received good-to-excellent water quality marks. San Diego County’s water quality during the summer dry weather time period was even better, with all of the monitored locations receiving an A or B grade -- even the notoriously polluted beaches at P.B. Point, Mission Bay, and the beaches near the Tijuana River estuary." Only 2 of the 55 locations in San Diego got graded with a fair to poor water quality.
On earth911.org, they have information in different beaches in and around San Diego. They remind people on what to look for in a clean beach and give general information on SD beaches.
"We would like to remind the beach going public that:
Beaches with the highest risk of contamination are near flowing storm drain, river, and lagoon outlets.
Water quality at all beaches can be contaminated by urban runoff for up to 3 days following significant rainfall.
Historical monitoring data indicates water quality at most beaches in the county is generally good during dry weather."

Question #2: Is the marine life in San Diego being chased away?
Sources are saying that Global Warming is chasing away marine life in shallow waters.
"Oxygen-starved waters are expanding in the Pacific and Atlantic as ocean temperatures increase with global warming, threatening fisheries and other marine life"
